I'd prefer if we could do this through config and only enhance the C
APIs where needed. With the new include logics and whatnot, this can
come in the form of a config library.

You can do includes but you can't put complex functions with parameters into a config library. So you would end up having to do it as routes with pseudo-variables to pass data around. I think this would be very messy for something as complex as Outbound - and there is always the chance you might use a route-name or variable name that someone else has (making it hard for them to add Outbound support to an existing configuration).<BR>

A lot of the business logic for Outbound will be done in the configuration anyway (failure-routes to generate/convert status to 430 and so on) mainly because this is right place for that stuff, but surely a new module that has drop-in replacements for existing functions (like record_route(), loose_route(), lookup() and so on) is going to be easier for people to work with?<BR>

Or have I misunderstood?<BR>
